Netflix placed a big bet on reviving “Arrested Development,” and new preliminary data suggests fans did indeed flock to the new adventures of the Bluth family during the Memorial Day weekend.

About 10 percent of Netflix viewers on Sunday and Monday binge-watched all 15 new episodes of Season Four of the wildly anticipated Mitch Hurwitz show, according to Fremont networking hardware and software vendor Procera Networks.

On one DSL network alone, 36 percent of devices receiving Netflix on Sunday tuned into at least part of one episode of the series, which became available all at once at 12:01 a.m. Sunday. That’s three times the number of people who watched another successful Netflix original series, “House of Cards,” on its release weekend in February, said Cam Cullen, Procera’s vice president of global marketing.

“It got attention,” Cullen said. “It doesn’t necessarily say that long term it will be a bigger success. The measure of any series is its longevity, getting people to come back.”

Procera’s data isn’t a complete measure of the entirety of Internet traffic this weekend. The company examined slices of data it sees from six of the top 10 cable Internet service providers and three of the top five DSL providers in North America.

But Procera’s data might be the best publicly available information about “Arrested’s” return from its TV grave since Netflix itself is not releasing any internal viewership numbers or ratings.

And based on an extrapolation of that data, Cullen figured the series might have given Netflix 10 percent of overall Internet traffic.

The Los Gatos company did well despite the fact that it also lost the streaming rights to hundreds of popular Nickelodeon children’s shows like “SpongeBob Square Pants” and “Dora the Explorer” over the weekend because the company’s contract with Nick parent Viacom expired.

Netflix is betting heavily on its original programming and hoping for at least as big a boost in number of subscribers from “Arrested Development” as it received for other series released earlier this year, like Kevin Spacey’s “House of Cards” and the horror series “Hemlock Grove.”

“Cards” helped Netflix add about 2 million subscribers during the last quarter. Netflix ended the quarter with 29.2 million subscribers in the U.S. – slightly more than pay TV network HBO.

However, reviews for the series were mixed and Wall Street investors gave a thumbs down to Netflix stock, which dropped more than 6 percent to close at $214.19 per share Tuesday on the Nasdaq.

Here are more of Procera’s findings, which Cullen posted on a company blog:

— Netflix peak traffic volumes jumped by 10 percent Sunday compared to the previous Sunday, with the overall number of subscribers accessing Netflix increasing by 8 percent. “Even though this was a holiday weekend, Arrested Development was a significant contributor to that traffic jump,” Cullen said.

– Peak viewership for “Arrested” was twice as high on Sunday compared to Monday, with a range of 2 percent to 7 percent of all Netflix traffic on various networks tied to the series.

– At one point, there were 10,000 people sharing illegal copies of Season 4 episodes on file-sharing networks, an activity not seen for “House of Cards,” Cullen said.

– About 10 percent of traffic on one U.S. university network was for the series.

– One European mobile network operator saw a sliver of viewers, .01 percent of overall traffic, watching the series.

– The biggest segment of viewers watched using a Microsoft Xbox or Sony PlayStation 3.

“As you might expect, we saw a pattern of episodes appearing on the network as people cycled through the series, with Episode 1 starting early, and other episodes coming on later in the day, indicating that most people watched them in order,” Cullen wrote.

Cullen was one of those binge watchers. “I did it all on Sunday,” he said.
